Can I use 2 wireless powerline extenders with the same SSID?

I have my router and main PC in the garage and use this TPlink kit http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-056-TP&groupid=46&catid=1604&subcat=
To hook up the PC in the lounge and provide Wifi coverage. The wifi signal is not great upstairs so I am thinking of getting another single wireless extender on its own. Now I know I set up a separate network upstairs, but more convenient would be to set it up with the same SSID and password - in the hope that I can walk upstairs with the tablet and not have to change networks to get a good signal.
Will this work? Do I use the same channels or set the second unit to a different channel?
Cheers.
 
Making them run with the same settings (security and name wise) will be similar to cloning the wireless.
